Gov. John J. McKeithen will
speak at the September ground-breaking
of the $30.5 million
Louisiana State University Med-ical
School at Shreveport, ac-cording
to Dean Edgar Hull.
Bids will be taken for the new
building Tuesday at 2 p.m. at
t h e Veterans Administration
Hospital.
There are presently 10 pros-pective
bidders for the facility,
Associate Dean George Meneely
told the Confederate Memorial
Medical Center board of direc-tors.
"At least two are real ser-ious,"
he said, "because they
want to bore holes 35 feet in the
ground to see what they will be
building on."
"What will happen if the bids
are too high?" asked board
member Tony Pernici. "Will
you have to resubmit them?"
"I'm afraid so," answered
Hull.
Groundbreaking will be held
Sept. 15, 16 or 17, said Hull,
depending on when LSU Presi-dent
John Hunter can come.
All of the gubernatorial candi-dates
will be invited to the
ceremonies, "but not to speak
— just to come," said board
member Charles Black who is
on the groundbreaking commit-tee.
Upwards of 500 people will
receive invitations to the cere-monies
which will be held on the
grounds of Confederate where
the building will be constructed.
Five hundred chairs have been
rented for the event.
